MRIL

MRIL is a two-compartment neuron model that learns salient features within continuous information streams through self-supervising process. While MRIL is a biologically-inspired model, it is applicable to several real problems such as unsupervised spike-pattern detection or blind source separation. We have implemented neural network models for MRIL in Python, which replicate the main results in our publication, Asabuki & Fukai (2020). Any binary matrix of spike train data can be analyzed by simply attributing it to spike_mat variable in our scripts.

The code is available here.

Custom NMF algorithm

This is a computer program that performs the blind separation of signals from a data matrix, developed for the study presented in Ghandour et al. (2019). The core algorithm is the non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) method proposed by Lee & Sheng (1999). After performing pre-processing steps on the input data, the program will automatically choose the NMF solution that minimizes the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC).

The code can be found here.
